The Best Plant-Based Milk Alternatives for Coffee and Espresso Drinks

[@matthewrs7]

This comparison was really well done. I love to see all the examples on screen and side by side so I don't forget how they looked. Although I use whole milk 99 percent of the time, it's nice to know what each alternative brings to the table as I often have leftover coconut milk in the fridge from recipes.

Hey Matthew, thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear you found it helpful. AJ

Love it when AJ is on! Love how in-depth he gets and just improves my personal skill

For weight loss reasons I have switched mostly to almond milk vs whole milk and have been using it on my Jura E8. This morning I made 2 flat whites, and overall they come out pretty good, . I am using Unsweetened Almond Breeze. The almond milk comes out nice and creamy and the taste although to me not as good as with whole milk it is still a very good drink. The almond milk holds together. There is definitely a hint of almond in the taste which I think is more prevalent in the almond milk as it heats up, but I have lost 60 lbs since October making changes like that to my diet. Can't complain. Now on my diet Almond Milk is a better weigh loss option than others such as oat and soy. Great video.

Hi Bruce, congrats on the healthy life changes - that's certainly no easy task! Glad you found a milk that you enjoy and fits into your new lifestyle. AJ

[@EtreTocsin]

Yes brand is everything in plant milks. Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Coconut blend (fresh in cold case) is the absolute BEST for all things latte. I hope you give it a try.

[@ssf2000]

Unsweetened almond milk (I use Califia) with a splash of heavy cream, steam, then pour. It helps for better frothiness and creaminess in flavor. Also adds a bit of fat without the sugar or carbs for those on keto diet.

Hey Sonia, Thanks for the tip!

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Just saw this, as I'm looking for answers on why non dairy milks don't foam well in my somewhat older Jura Impress Z9. This was super helpful. I have a dairy allergy so need to use plant milks. It may be time for a new machine. Thanks for the comparison, super helpful!

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DGFX64]

Great job as always guys…thanks heaps.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Thanks, Nick! AJ

[@anorveaa]

I have a serious allergy issue with cow milk and any dairy component. Your video is just awesome thanks!

[@Wholelattelovepage]

You are so welcome!

[@jakobw135]

There's a THIRD CATEGORY Elvis Presley machine and that is the COMPLETELY MANUAL one - like the Cafelat Robot. This one allows you find control of pretty well - EVERYTHING! My version of a vegan substitute milk does not yet exist on the market. Essentially, I use a mixture of oats with cashews and hemp, leave that overnight, blend, strain and bingo! Add a little soy before steaming - and voila! 😁

[@Wholelattelovepage]

fun!

[@Xosidhe]

The super-auto machines are sci-fi level technology. This is what they promised us about the future.

[@Clairew14]

This was exactly the video I needed. I only drink plant milks and wanted to know if a fully automatic would compromise quality. Thanks!

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Happy to help! AJ

[@EtreTocsin]

Try Almond Breeze Unsweetened (from the cold case ) Almond Coconut blend. Best flavor for coffee imo.

[@GoodDaySir]

Great test. Soy seems like it might be best but I would personally choose almond if I must (I am fine with real milk).

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Really? I thought you would have preferred chocolate milk. AJ

[@SippersSocialClub]

Great video! Cows milk is by far (many many times) worse for the environment than any plant based milk.

[@jakobw135]

ESPRESSO --> not Elvis Presley!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!! DAMN AI, and KZbin's lack of the EDIT function!

[@Snakepit_Media]

I'm looking for a creamer replacement and I like milk in my coffee and teas! Unfortunately I'm lactose intolerant so I have few options.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi SWS, Non-dairy milks are the way to go!

[@Snakepit_Media]

@@Wholelattelovepage thanks so much by the way, this video was really helpful!

[@Momo-yl3hs]

I wan buy milk steamer for my flair 58 espresso machine. Milk steamer that works great for animal, plants based milk. I found steamer like WPM but it’s ridiculously offer priced for home barista. Can someone help me?

[@DrakeLovett]

I recently tried oat milk, it's very strange having only ever had cow's milk in espresso drinks before. I tried the oat milk by itself first to see what it actually tasted like, and the taste is essentially what a huge bag of granola smells like. That didn't go away when I made a latte with it. I was originally recommended coconut milk, but as someone who cooks a lot of Thai food, I was a bit disturbed with the idea of putting "coconut milk" into my espresso machine's steam wand. Thinking it was the same as actual coconut milk, no it's different lol, I might give that one a try.

[@squibcakes74]

Out of all the alternatives.. I like oat milk the best… but you have to find a brand you like… there are some that taste and froth really bad.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Yeah oat's a weird one - lots of people LOVE it and others, not so much. Definitely has a distinct taste though. AJ

[@sms4hou676]

There are two types of machines regardless how new you are to espresso machines :)

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Ha, fair enough! I suppose I could have worded that one better AJ

[@yawnbox]

Almond milk water usage pales in comparison to the raising and slaughtering of cows tho

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Probably one of the reasons a lot of people are making the switch! AJ

[@MrIrrationalSmith]

Yup. If someone wants to bring that up about almonds, they should also mention how cows are worse. Great video, though.

[@eosme]

Try while foods 365 oat milk. You won’t get that gritty taste and nice to pour art with

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Good to know, I'll give that one a shot. Thanks! AJ

[@pablo-zn1mg]

are you guys (mark and AJ) on insta ?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi Pablo, we're on IG at instagram.com/wholelattelove AJ

[@EtreTocsin]

Oat milk is disgusting

[@SippersSocialClub]

Ok but drinking another mammals puss is actually revolting

[@blossompure]

@@SippersSocialClub sooo good

[@SuperMatrix59]

No plant I’m a human not a leaf

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Interesting takeaway... AJ

[@SippersSocialClub]

yeah, its so unnatural to consume plants. Just stick with other mammal's puss. You should try rat milk, heard its a delicacy

[@blossompure]

@@SippersSocialClub just shut up with ur non sense

[@bsifez]

You're a baby calf. We get it.

[@AlvinFlang69420]

Cocogoat mik is good, but never buy the "flavored" ones.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Had to look that one up haha AJ
